This concise volume in the Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine series,
published under the auspices of the International Olympic
Committee, provides a dependable source of current knowledge
available on tendinopathy and covers both the basic science and
clinical aspects of the subject.

Despite its high incidence, the precise etiopathogenesis and
effective treatment of tendinopathy remain elusive.
Tendinopathy in Athletes draws on the expertise of an
international and prolific collection of contributors, both
clinicians and scientists, who provide new insights into this
specialized area.
This book:

provides a comprehensive resource for both clinicians and
researchers with information organized logically, with an
easy-to-follow progression from the basic scientific findings to
clinical applications

discusses the full range of treatment modalities, including new
molecular and biological approaches, plus surgical and alternative
approaches to tendinopath

contains “What We Need to Know” sections that
suggest future areas of research for young investigators.

As tendinopathy remains one of the most common injuries
encountered, both in sports and at the workplace, this essential
volume is sure to be a source of frequent consultation.

Professor Savio L-Y. Woo, PhD, DSc, is the Whiteford
Professor of Bioengineering and the Director of the Musculoskeletal
Research Centre (MSRC). This is a diverse multidisciplinary
research and educational center in the Department of Bioengineering
at the University of Pittsburgh where over 450 orthopaedic
surgeons, bioengineering students and staff have studied and
worked. He arrived at the University of Pittsburgh in 1990 after
spending 20 years at the University of California in San Diego as a
Professor of Surgery and Bioengineering.
Dr. Woo has been elected to the Institute of Medicine, The National
Academy of Engineering and Academia Sinica. In 1998, he was the
winner of the IOC Olympic Prize for Sports Medicine and the first
Olympic Gold Medal in Nagano, Japan

Professor Per A.F.H. Renström is a professor in
sports medicine at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm,
Sweden

Professor Steven P. Arnoczky, DVM, is the Director, of
the Laboratory for Comparative Orthopaedic Research at Michigan
State University and has been working in the area of
musculoskeletal research for over 30 years. His basic science
research in the area of musculoskeletal tissue injury and repair
has resulted in numerous clinical advances in the field of
orthopaedic sports medicine. His current research interests involve
the role of mechanical signalling in the etiopathogenesis of
tendinopathy

“The editors of the work coordinated the contributions of
forty-seven specialists in medical, sports and health science
related fields. Recommended for specialists in sports medicine and
orthopedics and for medical libraries and academic libraries with
kinesiology, physical therapy and sports medicine
curriculum.” (E-Streams, September 2008)

"This is a good read for those with a strong interest in
tendinopathy...the book does provide a quality and in-depth
summation of the current knowledge."(Doodys Reviews)

"...Tendinopathy in athletes will help the medico-scientifi c community to better understand this problem and constitutes themost valuable reference for this medical condition for many years to come. I express my sincere appreciation for the excellent work of the coeditors and contributing authors who participated in this project" Dr Jacques RoggePresident of the International Olympic Committee
